Digging around a bit, it appears that it might be a reference to a
file which is missing. From amplot.g, line 62 we see:
# file title has the parameters that this program needs
load 'title'
plot "run_queue" title "Run Queue" with lines,\
"tape_queue" title "Tape Queue" with lines,\
"finished" title "Dumps Finished" with lines,\
"bandw_free" title "Bandwidth Allocated" with lines, \
"disk_alloc" title "%Disk Allocated" with lines, \
"tape_wait" title "%Tape Wait" with lines,\
"tape_idle" title "Taper Idle" with lines,\
"dump_idle" title "Dumpers Idle" with lines
Where is a developer when you need one? :-P
